AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoCinema & Western Sahara: Sandblast is urging an international boycott of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” saying scenes filmed in occupied Dakhla turn Sahrawi repression into an “exotic backdrop,” while critics add that the film’s promo spotlights other locations and leaves out the territory’s UN-listed status. Release logistics: “The Odyssey” is set for UK cinemas on July 17, but only 41 cinemas worldwide can screen it in Nolan’s intended IMAX 1570 format—just two in London. Human rights alarm: Sahrawi activist Naâma Asfari is in a critical condition after more than a month on hunger strike in Morocco’s Kenitra prison, with calls for urgent international action and transfer to detention in occupied Western Sahara. Diplomacy & solidarity: Trinidad and Tobago’s civil society and political leaders met with SADR’s ambassador to reaffirm support for Sahrawi self-determination as the UN Security Council term approaches. Politics & law: Spain’s attempt to reopen the “Sahara issue” via SUMAR is slammed as legally unfeasible, reviving a case closed since 1976. Sports & culture: Morocco, Spain and Portugal’s 2030 World Cup bid puts Palestine and Western Sahara on the spotlight, with debate over how major events intersect with regional politics.
